Personalized sitemails sent to anyone who hadn't yet renewed in Shtickless HBD. mbriese is changing cities, but otherwise I'm anticipating a smooth offseason.

Good.  Its nearly impossible to be motivated these next couple of weeks at work

I feel honored bot, thanks for the "personal" touch.  I will get back in as soon as my gcs arrive in my inbox, so Friday at the latest I will be renewed.

Which GC's? 

We should have until the end of the week for renewing. The WS will probably be over tomorrow at some point, and we'll have three days from then.

Glad Tony Briggs will be with the KC Moral Superiority the next 5 seasons

And Yoshii is gone.  He never helped me get a WS win, but I was in like a hundred LCSs.  You just won the WS.  I think you won that trade.

Let's get the trade wheel moving in HR.

Everyone is available in Honolulu. I have ML pieces and minor league pieces. I don't care about going for a win-now or a youth movement approach, but I have the pieces to do either. I still have to make up my mind on where I'll attempt to go with this season once I get that first accepted trade...

I felt like that could be one of several people. Don't know why I don't recognize who it is specifically.

How many more thumb-related posts will you need before you figure it out?

Not sure how compatible we will be...  Almanzar is the only guy jumping out at me and he is aging and also probably gone at the end of the season.

I don't get your thumb-references.

Almanzar is available, and he's willing to resign.

We'll see what I can come up with I guess.  Not many of my ML guys really make sense for you.
